WEBVTT EMERGENCY CREWS ON SCENE. WORLD-FAMOUS SACRAMENTO ARTIST DAVID GARIBALDI IS HITTING THE STAGE FOR WHAT HE IS CALLING THE MOST IMPORTANT SHOW SINCE HE WAS ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT." LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WEEKEND, EASTER WEEKEND. SUCH AN UNUSUAL PERFORMANCE. I PERFORMED WITH A CHURCH AT THE ROSEVILLE GALLERY. THEY HAD AN OUTDOOR STADIUM. THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND I WAS JUST HAPPY TO BE ONE SMALL PART OF THE AMAZING DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS INCREDIBLE. I STARTED OFF WITH A CANVAS -- AN IMAGE OF CHRIST'S ON THE CROSS. I TURNED THAT INTO AN IMAGE OF CHRIST'S LOOKING OUT. IT WAS MY INTERPRETATION OF LIFE AND CELEBRATING NOW. TYING IT INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY. LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS OTHER PERFORMANCE. A CELEBRATION OF LIFE. THURSDAY, I AM DOING A LIVE PERFORMANCE THAT WILL BE BENEFITING THE LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA SOM CI -- LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA SOCIETY. WE ARE USING A NEW TECHNOLOGY. AS I PERFORM ON THE CANVAS, THERE IS A SCREEN THAT HAS GOT DIGITAL IMAGERY THAT REACTS FROM IT. IT IS LIKE A LITTLE VEGAS SHOW IN SACRAMENTO. COOL. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE CHALLENGE OF DOING THE STYLE OF ART THAT YOU DO IN TERMS OF TRYING TO KEEP IT FRESH? THERE IS A WOW EFFECT, BUT YOU WANT TO TWEAK IT. NOT ONLY WITH SUBJECTS, BUT NEW WAYS TO PRESENT TO THE AUDIENCE. I DON'T LIKE CALLING IT SPEED PAINTING, I LIKE CALLING A PERFORMANCE PAINTING. IT IS SOMETHING I WANT THE AUDIENCE TO EXPERIENCE. DO PEOPLE APPROACH YOU AND SAY HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT --? OH YES. PEOPLE HAVE INTERESTING IDEAS. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU HAVE COME UP WITH THAT DID NOT WORK? YES, THERE ARE THINGS WITH STENCILS WE TRIED LIVE. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. STILL HAVING FUN? I LOVE IT, THAT IS WHY THURSDAY IS SO IMPORTANT. I WILL GO TO THE STUDIO AFTER THIS AND GET BACK TO PRACTICING. I LOVE THE TIME IT TAKES TO CREATE A SHOW. THAT IS TIME WHEN YOU ARE BY YOURSELF IN YOUR STUDIO AND CHALLENGING YOURSELF. YOUR PERFORMANCE IS SO AEROBIC. YOU THINK I WOULD BE IN BETTER SHAPE. WHAT DO YOU DO BEFORE A SHOW TO PSYCH YOURSELF UP AGAIN OR SO FRIDAY? -- AND GET YOURSELF READY? RED BULL, I RUN IN PLACE. MY TRAINER HAS ME ON A REGIMEN. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. DAVID WILL BE PERFORMING THIS THURSDAY. DOORS OPEN AT 7:00, DAVID WILL BE STRETCHING AT 6:30.
